Really disappointed with the food at this location. I usually love getting dinner at Galaxy but this location was a real let down. The inside of the place is dark and drab. I little color could warm the place up a bunch I gad the turkey meatloaf and it did not resemble meatloaf at all. It was pastie, pale and just barely above room temperature. There was some sort of green stuff running through the "meat" and a weird orange sauce. The sides (pasta salad and green salad) were not a whole bunch better. The pasta salad was way over salted. There were only about ten customers in all and it just seemed like fun was against the rules. I'm not going back. read more

Great food and casual atmosphere make a quick lunch or dinner perfect. Staff are friendly and helpful, and they are open for breakfast too!

Horrible experience on a Saturday evening. Placed order online, arrived and high school staff said they just received it. Upon looking the machine has a number of online orders printed, but the staff were talking with high school friends and occupied with their phones. After waiting 30 more minutes, when the order should have been ready long before, the staff forgot a complete $20 entree. We called and received a very unsatisfactory response. We will simply decline on our CC and not return. The triangle in Austin never has issues like this. read more

First time eating here yesterday. I got the Buddha bowl and couldn't have been happier. My only regret, I didn't have room for one of their desserts! There's an order online option for to go. I grabbed a paper menu for the future self that will want to eat Galaxy food and binge Netflix! read more

So I managed to trot in before work. Yes, the sweet potato fries were good. I had to dump ketchup on them, but that's me. The1960s music piped in was appropriate for ambience. I like this place.The staff has an air of awkwardness, like me, or is that wishful thinking? Anyway, I'll be back for their mushroom Swiss burger. read more

Picked up food for the family. The zocalo Buddha bowl was delicious and filling. I docked them a star because they forgot to include my kid's chocolate milk. read more

Expensive for what you actually get. The food is bland and the wait is normally extensive. I can get a much better burger for similar price and infinitely better customer experience at Hopdoddy or Bartletts. We ordered chips as an extra, but the cashier didn't include this item on the order. Without fail, this location omits something from the order every time we come. When we asked for the chips, the waitress brought them out about 5 minutes later. The manager followed with a new ticket which included a new $1.99 charge. I paid for the addition, but left off the $4.00 tip that I added to my original receipt. So not only did the manager lose $2.00 on the transaction, she lost a customer due to her own team's error. We go only to this restaurant due to convenience, it's not a restaurant anyone in the family picks as a first choice. read more

Honestly this place needs to leave the neighborhood. I was never impressed with their other locations with the food being bland, basic and over priced. So when it was announced that it would be coming to Mesa I was disappointed. Austin is filled with great restaurants and why our neighborhood can't seem to get with the program I just don't understand. I am hoping this place suffers the way other restaurants in this space did before it. Northwest Hills can do better and it deserves better. Yes this place is convenient and gives the neighborhood some other food options. But let's be real, it would be worth the extra time to get something of better quality elsewhere. read more

This place has ok food, it's not great food. Therefore I think the prices are high and the portions are small. Don't get me wrong small portions are a good thing but I'm not paying a high price for ok food. Go check it out for yourself but don't say I didn't warn you. The breakfast is reasonably price but honestly again it's just ok. Sad to say but I probably won't go back, I only break the bank for the good stuff! Man nothing can make it in this location, it's had a string of failures in and out of there. Good luck to the next one to come in! read more

I really loved this restaurant so much! It was a great atmosphere and the food was delicious. We got our food very quickly and they have so many great options to order from. I really loved that they had a whole menu contributed to gluten free options. I try to avoid eating gluten as much as possible and it's always difficult at other restaurants to find something that is gluten free. But here I got the gluten free build your own burger with bacon and cheddar cheese on it and then for my side I got whipped sweet potatoes and I was in heaven. My boyfriend got the regular cheeseburger and said it was delicious and he is always pretty picky about food!! I would highly recommend this place!! Loved it! read more

In one sound... "Meh". We had brunch here a couple weeks ago and it was okay, just not spectacular. The actual food was good enough, but it was pretty expensive as far as diner food goes. We spent close to $30 for French toast, bacon, an omelette, and a soda. The French toast was good, the bacon was okay (nothing very high quality or thick cut), and the Mediterranean omelette was down right boring. We had been looking forward to having a diner so close, but I doubt we will go back much. read more

Just ordered through Favor and could definitely eat this meal every night for the foreseeable future. I kid not. Boyfriend crushed his Zocalo burger and fries in seconds flat all while grunting with glee and I savored (and crushed) every bite of the grilled skirt steak w/ chimichurri, side of black beans and side salad. I glee-grunted too. Everything was super flavorful and quality, the bod was thankful for this. About to dive into the gluten-free, flourless chocolate torte and have a strong inkling I won't be disappointed/able to put down the fork. read more

We are so excited about their opening this week. Their food is consistently excellent no matter what you order and my go-to grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and mozzarella I had today was as good as their other locations. I heard this is the only location that is serving pancakes...?? Regardless there is no doubt we will be frequenting this place. One of the best additions to the neighborhood!! read more

Love the food at Galaxy Cafe! Uncomplicated, consistent & delicious. I've been here for lunch and dinner (haven't tried their breakfast/brunch yet). My favorite item on the menu is the sweet potato fries! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum! Service is great...almost everyone is helpful & friendly. Wish the lighting was a bit brighter in the restaurant. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite and was very pleased. Friendly service, good selection, fresh and healthy food, trendy style, indoor and outdoor seating. We don't live in Austin but will have to come back by when we are in town. I got the Buda bowl which was amazing!!! My husband got the Greek salad and enjoyed it as well. read more

Ive tried the roasted veggie Buddha bowl and the mushroom swiss burger. Both were really tasty. It would be 5 stars if it wasn't as expensive. $20 lunch for counter service and is a bit much. read more

We (my family ) have been to this restaurant several times, so it's about time I wrote a review. It's the same every time - I look at the menu and thinks it's rather boring, then very happy and surprised with the quality of the food! Is it more pricey? maybe, but you can tell they spend the money on fresh, good quality food, rather than decor or flashiness. It's fairly straight forward menu - burgers, sandwiches, salads, pastas, regular dinners with your typical sides. I've never had breakfast here though, so can't comment on that. Everything we have gotten is just simply tasty! Nothing is really spicey, but nothing is ever bland. My husband loves the burgers, and he's a real meat eating burger guy. My favorite is the fish tacos, but decided to go really healthy last night and ordered the Buddha bowl (veggies over brown rice and lentils) and it was very good; my daughter actually ate the kale on top! Are you going to find carmelized fancy crap with fancy european cheese topped weirdly askew on some artesian grain with fancy splotches of mystery sauce? No. But you will find simple good eating here. The staff all seem really young (high school), but so far have been really professional and well trained. PROS: 1. Everything has been tasty 2. VERY kid friendly. 3. Good variety, so can choose to eat really healthy, or not so much if you're wanting bacon, burgers with fries. 4. Has gluten free menu if you want that. 5. Easy to park and get to - this is truly a neighborhood place. CONS: 1. Can get busy with long lines. 2. Full of kids, if you don't like kids 3. Not much of a dessert menu. 4. Drink menu is somewhat limited. read more

Galaxy continues to be my go to for any meal. First time to this location and it's just as great as the others. Maybe even a little bit better because there was almost no line at noon on Sunday. Always good for gluten free options and I love their coffee. read more

I love this place, the breakfast/brunch was delicious. Brunch drink special were good too.

One of the best burgers in town! We skipped the line at Hop Daddy's to grab a Brie and blue cheese burger here instead! We came for burgers twice in one week, which is so unlike us. The customer service is fantastic, delivery fast and the decor is cool. We will be back for sure! Next time we will check out the dinner menu! All their food is preservative free and there's lots of Gluten free options too! Shout out to Jon for the excellent customer service! read more

The server at the counter was incredibly friendly and courteous! Truly makes me want to return! It makes the experience much more enjoyable!

Like Lou said, we live in the neighborhood and were desperate for a place we could walk to for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. The only option for the coffee had been the Starbucks inside Randall's, whose decor and ambience aren't conducive to a sit-down experience. So glad that Galaxy is here!! read more

I was originally going to Torchy's, but saw this place and decided on a whim to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did! Despite being mildly close to closing time, the staff was so *incredibly* welcoming and kind. The decor is beautiful and interesting, and really adds to the ambiance, and the food was fantastic. I got a wrap with mac and cheese, and it was seriously so good. Like I'm so grateful that I can't make mac and cheese that well or I would be 1000 lbs. Their herbal tea was delightful, and I love that everything is fresh and sourced responsibly. Also, their chocolate cake is SO calorie worthy! read more

The food is fresh and good. The service is awesome! I recently moved into the neighborhood so I will be a regular!

The food is nothing special! I don't understand why everyone loves galaxy. They're always slow too. I've never had a rude waiter but every time I go I wait at least half an hour for my food to come out. I've tried the pancakes, burgers, and a few salads. I didn't really like any of it. It's not bad it's just boring food. :/ read more

The food is really good and service is quick. A line does form during peak times (lunch and dinner especially) and seating can be difficult. Some of the choices are a bit pricey for an order at the counter place. However, the sweet potato fries and the lemon muffins are AMAZING! Get them when you can! read more

I've been to this location about 5 times now and it's delicious every time. I've had the Hot Shrimp salad a few times, the Steak Salad and lunch specials with Sandwich/Soup. Everything is really delicious...I'll have to say I love the Hot Shrimp Salad. This location is great as it is more central for me. read more

Healthier choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Mediterranean breakfast is light and won't weigh you done. Galaxy's signature ice coffee is very tasty sweetened or unsweet. The patio is a nice place to have a coffee and people watch. read more

Galaxy Cafe - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

Good location, low-key, understated, diner style, no frills experience. I like this little place. The Galaxy franchise has always been a serviceable and enjoyable restaurant for me. Had their Sunday brunch recently and was impressed. Take out burgers, chicken strips, salads, etc always hit the spot and food is made very quickly. read more

Finally a good neighborhood place! NW Hills needed a nice neighborhood restaurant that was casual with good food! Thank you Galaxy for taking a chance on our neighborhood! Food is consistently good from breakfast to dinner and the local beers on tap are a winner as well. read more

We love love love galaxy food (mainly dine at the South location) but your staff are very rude! Person who just now answered the phone AND the young lady working the register (blonde) was rude as well; not sure if they were the same? It's called CUSTOMER SERVICE! Train better or ask them to provide happier service. Gave me attitude so I left no tip and ps: I always leave a 25% tip! read more

Ive been going to the galaxy in Central Austin for years and was looking forward to having the veggie burger so close to my house....but after my visit yesterday super disappointed with this location. The cashier probably has only worked in the industry for a week....or is very dense (ive worked in the industry). He intentionally rang me and my friend up together - and though we both stood there looking at each other it got so awkward I went ahead and paid for us both. Normally not a big deal but this is the first time Id ever hung out with this person. Then we sat down before realizing he also hadn't pointed us to the glasses with silverware so we could get drinks. Its pretty dark inside and the sides that come with the sandwiches were tiny. Will continue to go downtown until management learns how to train the kids who work here to service industry standards. read more

One of the slowest kitchens in austin. Building is weird, service is SLOW. Food is good, but Good Lord it's slow. Every. Single. Time.

friendly service. pasta is good. chicken sandwich good. steak wrap is really good. buddha bowl is probably the best, but everything is good

Excellent service.great Mac and cheese! I loved it. The pasta was good but the sauce was too strong. They just opened and everyone tried to help us. The mimosa was perfect as well! I loved the Parmesan cheese. The kids meal was a perfect size for me because it was not huge! I thought the Mac and cheese was incredibly cheesy! The Parmesan was good as well. Will try sandwich next time! read more

I canNOT believe these raves. This is the goto place for mediocre food at inflated prices. French toast: burnt bread; American breakfast: cold eggs with undercooked bacon. Gave them 3 chances. Plenty of fine places across the bridge on Anderson. read more

Absolute ripoff. $10 for a tiny caprese sandwich that was about 5 inches long and had two slices of mozzarella on it. Don't go here.

I tried this location of Galaxy Cafe about 10 days ago. With a 3-7pm happy hour every weekday featuring $3 draft pint beers (including Live Oak Hefeweizen when I was there) and $2 sweet potato fries among other things, it is honestly hard to go wrong by me. My wife and I both thought the sweet potato fries were among the best we've ever had. There were cut a bit rectangularish and that seemed to be a great thing. As at other locations, the Mexican lime soup was amazing. Our entrees were probably only a 4/5 stars. We had no problem with the service. The great soup, great and cheap fries, and the cheap great beer push my overall review to five stars, despite the 4 star entrees. read more

Grilled Salmon salad with whipped sweet potatoes for dessert. Quick serving, great food and saw many from the neighborhood.

Staff was kind, helpful, and generous. The Galaxy Breakfast Bowl was surprisingly delicious. I'll be back and I'll order it again!
